JJ's POV

We've been pent up too long in the house, Henry's getting restless and Emily is practically begging to see the light of day. So after we pick Henry up from preschool we are going to the park. It's not hot outside but it's also not too cold. I made sure to dress Henry in a long sleeve, pants, and his red rain boots that Penelope bought for him, knowing we were going to the park. Emily walked into the living room with a blanket and some water for us.
"You two monkeys ready?" Henry giggled at Emily's question.
"Yeah! We're gonna have so much fun!" Henry practically yelled in excitement.

We decided to walk around a little before sitting in one spot. Emilys holding Henry's hand, per his request, while they're walking. I felt Emily push Henry behind her, still holding his hand, just tighter now.
"Henry get behind me, you too Jennifer" Two men were walking awfully close to us, not taking their eyes away from Emily and I. The first one reached behind his back and pulled out something. A gun. Well today is just a great day to decide not to wear our guns on us.
"I want all your fucking money and your phones. Don't even try anything, this thing is loaded" He demanded, waving his gun around.

We weren't really out in the open, so no hope for anyone to see us being fucking robbed.
"Ok, ok we'll give it to you just don't hurt us" Emily said putting her arms up in a surrendering manner. They hadn't even noticed Henry yet, they only saw him when they heard him start crying.
"Give it up now! Or I'll take your little one right between the eyes!" Now we had no choice but to give up our stuff. To be honest, in a normal situation we probably would have fought off these assholes but considering we had Henry with us, our main priority was his life and keeping him safe. I gave my phone and wallet to Emily, making her pass our stuff off to them men. The guy in the back snatched them from Emily while the one in front punched her. They both took off running after that. I guess they thought of Emily as the muscles in our group so they hurt her before running so she wouldn't take off after them. Smart.

I turned my attention back to Emily, still not letting go of Henry's hand. Non fatal injuries, just a bloody nose and Henry peed himself out of fear. I hug Henry tightly despite his wet pants.
"We need to get to the BAU JJ, Henry has extra clothes in my office. We just need to get to a safe place" I'm glad they didn't ask for the car keys, that would be a whole different situation. Henry is now sobbing, I understand that he is in shock and probably traumatized now. Emily picks him up and starts walking to the car. To be honest, I'm a little shocked too right now. What are the odds of two FBI agents and their son getting robbed?

We get to the BAU, I sat in the back with Henry because he didn't want to be away from us even for a car ride. Emily sped the whole way there, it would probably have been safer if I was driving but I was too focused on Henry to think about it. Emily grabs Henry and we get into the bullpen, making our way to her office.
"Call Garcia and Spencer. Garcia can possibly get us footage, and Spencer can comfort Henry in the meantime"
"No mama *cry* I wanna be with you *cry*" He doesn't let go of her, he only holds on tighter.
"It's ok bub, you're gonna be just fine" She rubs his back trying to calm him down. This is a lot for a 4 year old to handle.

Garcia and Spencer get here at the same time, something about a geek fair. I didn't give them much on what happened so they were confused when they walked in.
"Hey Spence, can you go to the bathroom and change Henry's pants and get him cleaned up. Then maybe entertain him for a bit, we'll fill you in later but right now Henry needs someone to cling to and distract him" I explain to him. He nods and takes the crying Henry out of Emily's hands. Once they leave Garcia sets up her laptop while Em takes her shirt off because it had Henry's pee on it. I opened her desk drawer because I was already in her chair and tossed the baby wipes at her so she could clean her torso. Of course dummy didn't have her go-bag so I guess she's going shirtless for now, not like I'm complaining.
"Ok pumpkin, what am I looking for?" Garcia questioned.
"Um, we were facing a coffee shop so pull up those cameras and see if you have a visual on us"

It took us another hour of surviving the cameras to get a good shot of the guys. We called it a night and took Henry home. Spencer managed to get him to sleep so it wasn't that hard. Tara came over 20 minutes later with new phones and some cash since we had nothing. Emily did pay for it though, she knew it would be easier for Tara to gather our necessities rather than us going out right now.

Emily's POV

To put it in PG-13 words, the next couple of days were rough. Henry refused to leave our sides for anything, I found JJ sitting on the bathroom floor while Henry used the bathroom or even brushed his teeth. I think we're gonna try to get him to talk to a professional. Tara is a licensed therapist but I don't know if he would feel more comfortable talking to a random person or a friend like Tara.

It's currently Wednesday right now and we're gonna keep Henry home for the rest of the week to help him cope and return to his usual self. How do you help a 4 year old process the fact that he will not die if he leaves your side? He's been sleeping in his bed for about two years now, but I bet he's gonna start sleeping in our bed again. Speaking of beds, Henry is napping between JJ and I. I fix my eyes on JJ's, trying to see if she's awake or not, good, she is.
"How are we going to help Henry cope, there is no instruction packet to this Jayje'' I whisper, trying not to wake Henry, who by the way, is practically laying on top of me.
"We take it slow, we go at his pace and work at his level" And with that we both fell asleep next to our son. This would be a long road to 'recovery' is that even the right word? 'Normal' maybe that explains it better. Either way, we will do anything to get there for Henry.

This is a short chapter but I am making a sequel to it so get ready!
